We now officially live in a #BananaRepublic. Standing in line to cast a paper ballot so that the maniac in charge or his Russian puppet master can't manipulate the US mail, polling places or Internet to steal yet another election. Totally worth it.

"Bad things happen in Philadelphia" so says former reality TV star & 1 term president #realDonaldTrump . He was right because we are Philly tough and we don't take crap from an arrogant born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a home run criminal who killed over 225,000 people #COVID19

A night out with your daughters in Delco. Priceless #MareOfEastown

Delta variant It's in the house. Just got to the Mann Music Center in Philly for a Maalox tour of Hall and Oates and 99% of people are maskless. Scary since most of the ticket holders saw them in the 80's- a clear risk factor in the over 65 crowd.

Sneaking out from the lab early to steal 9 holes and a gorgeous sunset Rolling Green Golf Club Priceless. Wnt'er is coming. Be in the moment.

The new vaccine mandate is being administered through OSHA who felt a need to issue a 500-page document to explain themselves. The whole thing could be distilled down to 8 words: "Stop being selfish and get the vaccine stupid"

It's times like these that call on us to root for ( and support) the underdog as it takes on the evil empire. Rocky Balboa disposed of Ivan Drago, the Siberian express. Putin doesn't stand a chance against the courageous Ukrainian people. We are with you.
